World Liberty Finance (WLFI), the Trump-backed crypto project, has been making headlines with its rapid expansion and the recent launch of its USD1 stablecoin on the Aptos (APT) blockchain. However, the market hasn’t responded kindly. WLFI’s price plunged more than 10% despite the milestone, accompanied by a trading volume spike to $550 million—double the previous day’s activity.
The surge in volume signals strong market engagement but leans bearish for now. Analysts note that the rapid sell-off reflects profit-taking and fear among short-term traders rather than a fundamental collapse in sentimen
$82 Million Exits as Investors Turn Cautious
Data from CoinGlass revealed that WLFI’s perpetual markets saw $82 million in liquidity outflows, shrinking total value locked (TVL) to $630 million. Meanwhile, investor sentiment dropped from 79% to 75%, according to CoinMarketCap, as 4% of holders shifted from bullish to bearish positions.
Still, a deeper look shows that the sell pressure isn’t universal. While perpetual traders reduced exposure, larger investors—especially whales—appear to be taking the opposite side of the trade.
Whales Accumulate Amid Fear
According to Arkham Intelligence, major crypto institutions including Robinhood, Bitget, Bitpanda, and Indodax have collectively acquired over $30 million worth of WLFI in the past week. Binance, MEXC, and Coinbase, however, trimmed less than 1% of their holdings—likely minor profit-taking rather than major exits.
WLFI’s funding rate remains slightly positive at 0.0033%, a signal that traders are still paying to hold long positions. This suggests a cautious but ongoing belief in WLFI’s rebound potential.

What’s Next for WLFI?
Market data shows clusters of long liquidation zones above the current WLFI price, which often act as magnets for price movement. If that pattern continues, WLFI could see a recovery toward $0.193 in the coming days.
While volatility remains high, the alignment of institutional interest, stable funding rates, and technical liquidity patterns could offer WLFI a foundation for a short-term rebound.
